Undoubtedly the best day of the year. Why? I became an aunt.
That's right, I have a nephew! And he's about the most beautiful little baby boy you have ever seen. In the few days that I got to spend with him, he barely opened his eyes but I still got plenty of cuddle time.
It's a strange thing that happens - a baby. I've heard that being an aunt changes your life and I suppose that it does, but I figure most of that life-changing comes later on. But in the weeks leading up to his birth, I spent a lot of time waiting for him to make his entrance and a lot of time missing him. I know it sounds strange - to miss someone you've never met, much less someone that hasn't even been born. But if I thought I missed him then, since I've left Amarillo after he was born, that feeling has only gotten crazy strong. I now spend a lot of time either looking at pictures of him or planning how I can see him again. It's safe to say that little baby has pretty much taken control of my heart.
